McGill Daily: Quebec Young Liberals push for tuition hike

29 September 2006

The McGill Daily reports that the Quebec Young Liberals are pushing for the tuition freeze in Quebec to come to an end. I find this interesting. I do agree with there basic premise that financial aid must increase with tuition. This year tuition is up in Ontario and I am paying more. I am also not getting any increase in my financial aid. That annoys me. Anyway, here is a snippet of the article and the link here:

The youth wing of Quebec’s Liberal Party is campaigning to lift the province-wide tuition freeze that has been in effect since 1996.
According to the Youth-Commission of the Parti libéral du Québec, the tuition freeze benefits the upper class at all Quebec universities by offering them a cheap ticket they do not need. They suggest regulated tuition increases along with more financial aid.
“Our position is an increase in Quebec tuition and a congruent increase in financial aid,” said Julien Morissette, Policy Coordinator for the Quebec Liberal Youth.
